Poehler in tights for Anchorman

Amy Poehler pulled on a pair of tights for the premiere of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues in New York on Sunday night.

The comedienne combined the
tights with a pair of black heels and a spotted grey dress.

Poehler makes a cameo appearance in the second edition of the celebrated newsroom comedy, although the full extent of her role has been carefully kept under wraps.

She isn't the only celebrity lined up for a cameo in the second Anchorman film as Liam Neeson, Jim Carrey, Sacha Baron Cohen and Tina Fey are all expected to make an appearance at some point.

Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner all return to the screen as Ron Burgundy, Brick Tamland, Brian Fontana and Champ Kind - with Vince Vaughn also reprising his role as Wes Mantooth.

The Saturday Night Live star made a brief cameo in Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie, which was comprised of outtakes and unused footage from the original Anchorman film and featured as a DVD extra.

Reports earlier this year suggested that a similar fate may await the second edition as director Adam McKay hopes to fit 250 new jokes into the alternative release.
